The following command will provide a list of each update log file name and then the line of the log that shows whether or not the update was completed successfully or not:

find /var/cpanel/updatelogs/* -name "update*" | while read updatelog;do echo $updatelog;grep "Pre Maintenance" $updatelog ;echo;done
